03 April: LOTW only. 105 claimed credits. About 15 minutes from submitting application (DXCC) to being able to see changes in my band/mode totals and to print out new adjusted awards list totals. I believe its an automatic, no human interface system.
It is surprising to see old QSOs being confirmed on LOTW. I had several from 5+ years ago that came up today that did not pop up on 01 March 2012. A few folks are going back to much old logs and inputting that old log data. I have had a few confirmations from 20+ years ago via LOTW. I have some QSLs to confirm QSOs for band/entity but must go through HQ; includes a few deleted entities and 160M QSO/QSLs. That would rule out the On-Line system that requires field checking of QSLs, not in a rush so I will keep collecting more QSLs and let the HQ backlog decrease. I believe the 3 systems will now contribute to reduced processing times for the slower methods. This can only be an improvement for us. Hq needs a THANKYOU from those of us out here.

It's not much more than a button press at ARRL HQ I imagine, because the QSOs are already "vetted". - Jim ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
